(!i;D cning pspitjj. AUGUSTA,GEO : Thursday Kvenlng. Biov. 18, 1858. Death of Samuel M. Thompson, Esq. It becomes our painful duty to record the demise of Samuel M. Thompson, Esq., late news and commercial editor of the Evening Dispatch. He expired al forty minutes past three o’clock this •morning, at the residence of his sister in-law Mrs. A. G. Willis, after a pain ful illness of about three weeks. Mr. Thompson was born in the city of Charleston, S. C., Oct. 29th, 1808, and was, therefore, fifty years and nineteen days old at the time of his decease. He served an apprenticeship at the printing business, in the office of the Charleston Courier, where he remained until his re moval to Augusta. He took an active part on the Union side, at the period of nullification, and signalised his entrance upon early man hood by a vigorous co-operation with the friends of President Jackson, at that period. In 1832 or 1833, he came to Augusta, and took charge of the Constitutionalist office, as foreman, and in 1835 embarked in the Daily Constitutionalist , the first dai ly paper published in this city. He, maintained his connection with that j paper as joint proprietoruntil Oct. 1840,1 when he sold out to his partner, Mr. P. C. Guieu, and retained his position as Commercial and News editor a short. time, when he went to Savannah, and' remained four years as foreman of the i Georgian office. In 1846 he returned to Augusta and resumed the position of. Commercial editor, where he remained j until 1855, when he resigned his connee- j tion with the paper, with a view of is-1 suing the Augusta News but his health : failed, and f or a period of about two •yearslie was not engaged in business. On the first of June, 1858, he assumed j the duties of news and commercial edi- j tor of the Evening Dispatch, which posi tion lie maintained until the Ist of No vember, when he was prostrated by the sickness which terminated his earthly career as above stated. He had been connected with the press of Georgia twenty-five years, a longer period with perhaps one or two exceptions, than any among the editorial corps of the State, and for the accuracy of his commercial reports, and general efficiency as a wri- 1 ter and journalist, had acquired a repu-. tation seldom attained in his profession. In his relations with the fraternity, as j well as in private life those higher qual- j ities of fidelity, generosity andkindness, were always observable, lie ever sought to avoid offence, and to promote the interest and happiness of those around him. These qualities of philanthropy were -signalized, not only in his every-day in tercourse with his fellows, but by his untiring devotion to the sick in those periods when many stern hearts and strong arms around him quailed before the march of the augel of death that has twice shrouded our city in mourn ing and gloom. In 1839, being at the time one of the Board of Aldermen, he was among the few noble spirits who co-operated with Mayor Alfred Cum ming in nursing the sick, while he stood manfully at his post as editor, andtup plied absentees with regular reports of’ the progress of the epidemic—perform ing. at the same time,* the duties of compositor and editor —and devoting; every spare moment to ministering to the j wants of the sick and dying. In 1854 again, as editor of the Constitutionalist , aud a member of the “ Good Samaritan Association," he renewed his devotion to the suffering, and while the city was panic stricken, and almost deserted, remained at his post, and issued a daily slip of the journal with which he was 1 ' connected, at this time also performing! 1 a large share of the duties attendant j ' apon its publication But lie is gone—aud th*se who knew , him and loved him, perform the sad rites for him, which he was ever ready i to administer to others. As a husband ' and father, the same qualities of gen tlenes, and affection that made him the 1 friend of ail his race, were constantly t exemplified, ire shall miss him, from ] the old familiar window where he wasj •' wont to sit for so many years—our rea-; < ders will miss him—but no loss can com I pare with the bereavement of his family circle. May Godcomfortand deal gent- 1 Iv with the widow and the orphan.— I A notice of his funeral maybe found i under the appropriate head. j 1 A Faithful Officer. j < That Mr. Thweatt has made the best I Comptroller General we ever had, says < the Macon Telegraph, is the just reward which both parties have pronounced in, i favor of this meritorious, industrious 1 and faithful officer, and wc hope the ; present Legislature will endorse the i verdict of the public by a substantial j l evidence of its good opinion of Mr. , Thweatt’s zeal in the service of the 1 ' State. • , Some of the papers suggest that his saiary be raised. He is now receiving 51.500. We know nothing of the la bor devolving upon the details of that office, but certainly if there is an officer in the service of the State that deserves! liberal pay, it is Col. TiiwEAn-. Spain. —Spain is in a fairway of bav ing her hands full. She is preparing an expedition against the Moorish pirates of the Riff—a formidable expedition,; • consigning, it is said, of 10,000 men ; and another against Mexico, which will be a very expensive affair. Os the latter, the ships for the transport of troops, have already sailed Except one, which is de tained at Cadiz by stress of weather.— How far the Spanish treasury can stand such drains as these remains to be seen.-* [communicated] *on the Bth ultimo there appeared an ’ article in the Chronicle &t Sentinel on the i Physical Training of Children, in which was the following language : But if a child must he sent to school before he has learned to appreciate in I struction, and before he is physically . lit to endure the fatigue of study, send I him where he will not he confined lon ger than three hours a day, and to a teacher who knows how to govern with out. the rod ! Believing the author intended to re pudiate the rod as a means-of school government and discipline—in short, that he was a “moral suasionist,” of . whom the number perhaps is on the in crease, we ventured to reply to the wri tdr, combatting his position and advoca ting the jndicious use of that import ; ant adjunct of the school room. To this article of curs, the author gave a passing notice, affirming that our con struction is not legitimate ; that he has expressed 11 no opinion" for or against j “corporal punishment" in school; that he did not even "dream" of such an idea ; and, by inuendo, insinuates that 1 I havo not sense enough to under -1 stand plain English. Well, of course, one who has not learned 1 ‘how to teach ’ without using the bod,” can scarcely j be expected to be able to construe correct language! It is our misfortune not to ; fee alike and not to agree in our inter j pretation of language ; for if we can I understand the gentleman’s position, j he has expressed an opinion 6o(A"pro and j con," although he evidently intends to j entertain his private opinion that it is a j “rat,’’though he has conceded it may ben “mouse.” The author wishes us to “do him justice.” Unfortunately this is | difficult, from the fact that-he seems, ! unconsciously perhaps, to himself, to j be on both sides of the question, albeit he says he is on neither, and lias ex ! pressed “no opinion” upon the subject, j Now will W. S. M., author of said arti j cle, read the quotation we have made from him, in reference to the “rod,” j then his affirmation that he had ex | pressed “no opinion” upon the use of ; the “rod” in school, either for or | against,<iot even “dreaming” of repu diate it; and finally will he read his closing paragraph in reply to our criti cism, inviting .ns to inform the reader “from what part of Holy writ we find authority for using the rod as a practi cal school teacher”—we say, will lie compare these and say there is not a palpable contradiction? We did feel 1 prepared to do the writer “justice,” to | make the amende honorable if necessary, when wc read his declaration that be *1 had expressed “no opinion”—did not | “dream” of repudiating the rod ; and ’ j we thought surely we were in error as -1 ter all; hut, when we came to the closing e sentence, calling upon us rather in a I self-assured air, as much as to say, you ! can’t do it—to give our authority for L the use of the rod, we confess we felt a ‘J little amused and a little puzzled too, “Jail of which oar opponent doubtless can I \ easily account for! We summoned our philosophy to our aid, but we are not sure we divined cor rectly. Ic suggested, however, that the ”j gentleman’s judgement approved of this “terror of evil doers ” only, while the’ "feeling remembrance ,” of which bespeaks, entertains an old grudge against the rod, I that must be permitted to denounce j this relic of barbarism. But we will! j. indulge in no speculation lest we do the j gentleman “injustice.” The facts arc! P sufficient. The advice to send a scholar , to a teacher, who “knows how togov- J ern without the rod,” can legitimately ! bear but one construction, unless re stricted to some special class of pupils. The expression is general—unmodified, j If I, for example, advise my friend or; neighbor to call in the aid of a physi- : ! ciun who knows how to cure without j the use of “calomel,” we think we ■ I should be understood to have expressed ] some “opinion” respecting this species ■ of medicine; at least, we should em- 1 ploy such language only when opposed to it. I We suppose however, W. S. M. would ■ not even “dream” of any such idea at taching to the expression. 1 It may seem a little discourteous in us to persist in one construction, when the author affirms that he has ex : pressed “no opinion”: still we must he j allowed the privilege of verbal criti cism whatever the intention might be on ! the part of the writer. ; Our opponent thinks the poetical se- ' lection we made unfortunate for our theory. Not at all. True the term rod is not used by the poet; but we con tend that the doctrine is simply this : means adequate to the end, implicit obe dience. The gentleman must remember that when “neither words nor grass will ; do ” something more substantial must. The Great Teacher himself—the person ification of “ meekness and gentleness” became indignant on a certain occasion, , aud not only employed stern rebuke that i doubtless made the offenders tremble, 1 but administered a little wholesome dis cipline with a “scourge of small cords.” , The rod is a dernier resort unless used iu mere wautoness ; and of course, if the “delinquent” canbe made to shake with! fits of awe” by “darting” se oere looks !, | or donning a "terrible form," it would be i superfluous ; and we presume had the I i Savior been able to accomplish his pur- 1 pose without the “scourge” he would I baldly have resorted toit. Obedience at i any cost; without the rod of passible— ! villi it when necessary. But we are called upon to state from i what part of the holy writ, we get our authority, as a “practical teacher” to use the rod. This is not difficult ; i. e. to our mind. But as the gentleman , seems to be rather a "strict constructionist" we may not be able to satisfy his mind l on this point. Perhaps the gentleman may call for my authority to teach at all! ‘lf however lie will allow what the law seems to allow, that the teacher main tains a parental relation to the pupil, we think he will be forced to admit that the Bible not only permits, hut enjoins the use of the rod. The entire scriptures near ly,enforce the duty of governing children pronouncing, andinflicting the severest curse upon those who permit them to do as they please but “restrain them not.” There are some particular por tions, however, more explicit than oth ers, not only enjoining this duty, but also specifying the means by which it shall he accomplished. True they do not say, teachers should employ the rod nor ' in most cases do they say who they art that must perform this duty, but the sense is patent; parents or those sustaining the relation of parents; these are “tile powers that he, and are ordained ol ' God,” and whoso resisteth them rcsisteth the ordinance of God.” But to the law and to the testimony, what do the scrip tures say? Eplurihusparval. Wc cannot of course transcribe the hundreds of passages that hear upon this subject.— Proverbs XXUI—I3, 14. Withhold not correction from the child, for if thou beatesthim with a rod he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with a rod and de liver his soul from hell. Rather strong moral suasion. Proverbs, XXIX, 15. — The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself bringeth his moth er to shame. Proverb, XXII, 15. Fool ishness is hound in the heatt of a child but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. Proverb, XIX,IB. Chasten thy son while there is hope, let not thy soul spare for his erring. This doubtless refers to children of the ten der age that W. S. M. seems to think ought to he governed without the rod ; but deferring as much as possible to the judgement of our opponent we must be excused if we prefer to follow Solo- ( man rather than W. S. M. oa > ■•> lion. Eilivnid Errrctt anil Mount Vernon. Bonner, of the New York Ledger, has offered Hon.

The New York Tunes contains what purports to be a full copy of our new ] treaty with China. Speaking of it, ( the Tones remarks : i A large portion of its clauses are in nearly the same terms as those of the ] treaty of 184 G, though some clauses j have been added and changes made which have an important bearing upon < our commercial interests. Lord Elgin, moreover, evidently did not think so i badly of some of its provisions as the London Times now affects to do. Un • der the old treaty American vessels paid 1 tonnage duties at the rate of live mace - (50 cents) per ton ; and this was re i duced, through Mr. Reed, the American Minister, to four mace per ton, (40 cts.) .! upon the ground that as the registered ; ! tonnage of our vessels is one fifth more ’ : than that of the British, this reduction , ; | of the rate was necessary to inak 3 the • 'duties equal. Lord Elgiu, of hearing *! this reduction, insisted upon a similar (reduction in the British treaty, and « thus sought to perpetuate the advantage < of British vessels over our own. Revolution In Sonora. j New York, Nov. 14.—Private letters |from Guyanms dated Oct. 10th, have . been received, speaking of a revolution \ there, which confirms the Heralds state- I merits. ’They sav that Captain Stone 1 with his surveying party, consisting of < about thirty Americans, occupied three s houses In the centre of the town,direct- . ly between the opposing parties. If an 'attack had been made on him,he would have hoisted the American flag and * fought under it, being well armed, with plenty of ammunition, and a brig in ■ the harbor mounting two Dine pounders • I-ieut. Mowry was also there, ready to ? lend assistance with his men. The civil war ended hv the surrender of the au- j thorities to the rebels, after getting all i they demanded and obtaining a guar antee of immunity from prosecution.— | The rebels reinstated the authorities.— | The Americans were not attacked owing , to their firm position, and declining to surrender their houses to the leader of ‘ the rebels, J A Touching Dittv.—When Seth got J home from mackcreling, he sought his i Sarah Ann, and found that she, the’ j heartless one, had found another man. , And then most awful tight he got, aud f so he went away, andbound himself to t go and cut live oak in Florida. He 1 pined upon the live oak lands ; he mur- j mured in the glades; his axe grew . heavy in his hands, all in the wild 1 wood shades. Musquitos bit him every- -j where, no comfort did beget—ah ! how i terribly he'd swear whenever he’d get 1 hit. At last, despairing of relief, and, j wishing himself dead, he went into the i wools apiece, and chopped off his own ' head. Thus died poor Seth. A large planter in Burke CO., under date of the 12th, writes us : £ “ I have within the last few days seen a good many of the cotton fields of Burke, and I can assure you I have never seen them iooj* so black so early , in the season ; in fact the crop is gatii- j ered and sent to market."— Sav.

During my sickness I was attended j by three physicians in our place, but received ; no help. I also tried the various remedies re- ! j commended for such complaints, but they as- j I forded me no relief. As a last resort, I was '■ persuaded to try Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, and by using four bottles I was restored to better health than I have enjoyed before for ten years. This statement may be relied upon as strictly true. Betsey Perms. The above certificate was given in the pre sence of Dr. A.

It Is par ! ticularly recommended for all diseases of the 1 I.iver, as it is a Liver Innigorator. Especially j among our own children have we noted its ben- j : efleial effects, where the little sufferers, from' ! bowel complaint, worms aud other diseases in- j i cident to children, have .been made quiet and i perfectly cured by the use of this article. It has testimonials that none can doubt, for the cure of Jaundice, Dyspepsia, and such troubles as al ways follow a deranged Liver A few such cases have come under our observation, where itj seemed almost to work miracles.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lost the power of duly converting food into a ! life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric j liuid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude i nutriment, which was a load an l a burthen toj the sufferer, while his digestive organization was; paralyzed aud unstrung, becomes, under the j wholesome revolution created in the system, the ; basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the j acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux j or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- j rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that: terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnatural condition j of tho wonderful machinery which connects ev- j ery member with the source of sensation, mo-, tion and thought—derives immediate benefit I from the use of this Cordial, which at once culms, j invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous j organization. Females who have tried it are unanirao s iuj declaring the Elixir to be -the greatest boon thui i ' woman has ever received from the ha ds ci ’ ■ medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im- J mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite j While it renews the strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire lor the solid material which is to bo subjected to their action. As an ; app jtiaer it ha 3 no equal in the Ph&rmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its en-' joyment arc desirable, this medicine is indeed of j precious worth Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either < sex or to any age. Tho feeble girl, the ailing 1 wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous depres sion, the individual suffering from general de bility or from the weakness of a single organ I willall find immediateand permanent relit ffrom I the use of this incomparable ren »vator. To 4 those who have a predisposition to paralysis it will prove a complete and unfailing safe guard against that terrible m ilady. There are many perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- f tion that they think themselves beyond the reach ] of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re lerencc to the causes, aud will not only remove I the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution I LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- j ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de siructlon, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impoteucy, constipation, etc., from whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli ance to bo placed on human testimony, absolute ly infallible.
